Hi,
I'm trying to set up ,y XDA IIS to access gprs, but i cant see how to do it at all, ive tried putting all the O2 settings but it just doesnt work, I'mon o2 prepay, any ideas?!
Thanks!
James
Hi,
I've done a bit of research and thought I'd post the results incase anyone else had the same question!
If you are using a PRE-PAY sim card in your XDA IIS it looks like O2 have been very helpfull and blocked access to all websites exceot their own O2 Active service.
If you want to conenct your XDA IIs to O2 Active Internet with your Pre PAy SIM here are the settings....
Homepage: http://pda.o2.co.uk/
APN address: prepay.o2.co.uk
Username: prepay
Password: password
In the advanced menu set.....
DNS Servers: 193.113.200.200
and 193.113.200.201
So it looks like my XDA IIs will be useless in terms of getting onto the internet with the PrePay SIM, i'll have to try and think of how else i can get it on the web.
Thanks
James
i use a dual sim one o2 contract and one prepay. i connect to gprs fine on both sims, i just made 2 different settings, check this thread out its the one i used to sort mine:

I had a varioII - I have managed to get hold of a new o2 orbit from work. I want to use it with my T-Mobile sim.
I have put all of the gprs settings in, etc and the phone works fine.
It still has all of the o2 branding - i dont mind this but can anyone advise if this will effect the performace of the phone if iam using t-mobile?
no, it will work fine. I'm doing the same. T-mobile sim in O2 unit.
So are you using a web n walk £7.50 or £12.50 plan on it then?
I am thinking of doing the same, but someone said T-Mobile their own browser to surf with.
Do you just put the T-Mobile GPRS settings into Orbit and the sim?
That's what I've done; the settings can be found from the online 'manual' for the MDA Compact III:

I'm on O2 Orbit with T-Mobile Flext 20 & Web & Walk
All works great, and browsing uses the normal internet explorer
The settings I got from:
http://www.4winmobile.com/q-what-are-the-uk-amp-roi-gprs-settings-for-web-wap-mms-vt1834.html
The only thing I wish the Orbit did was 3G - the browsing on W & W with a 3G enabled phone is much faster.
I would like to change network provider from O2-Vodafone but still use my Orbit. Will this work and how would I stop it automatically installing the o2 GPRS settins?
Thanks
hi, i purchased a O2 XDA orbit about 3 weeks ago and the person i purchased it from said it was locked to O2. When i recieved the phone it worked straight away with the vodafone sim card. after reading a few threads it seems as tho the O2 XDA orbit's are unlocked already?
i'm not sure how to stop the O2 settings from starting but im sure i seen somewhere that if you soft reset by pressing the little button on the side with a pin as soon as the o2 settings start that should bypass it??
i cid unlocked mine and flashed the Touch 3 vanilla rom and its running sweet with pocketPBplus 4.0.
it automatically setup the settings for vodafone and i can send and recieve mms and also browse online thru the vodafone gprs
hope this helps as its my first post!

Ok Guys i struggled with this for a few days as o2 said they dont support the phone! Anyhow i managed to get it working via HTC HD2 settings - typical Mobile operators!
Please ensure that when entering O2 into the settings that the letter O is selected and not a zero.

Just to clarify, is this for 3G access in the UK? Contract or PAYG or both?
Thanks, because my O2 PAYG SIM will be arriving in time for me to use it with my Desire when it finally arrives...

I believe the APN will be
payandgo.o2.co.uk
for a PAYG Sim
It's reported that the Desire is coming to O2 on the 29th or April, hopefully they will be able to provide more support at that time.
I also had an issue with the Data Services settings with my O2 sim inserted. Each time I tried to connect via Wi-Fi to the Android marketplace, to log in you are required to sign in to your active Google account. I had one setup from long ago but I kept receiving an error stating that provisioning for Data Services was required and could not connect to the Google Server. I contacted O2 and stated that I was not able to automatically download O2 settings Data Services settings, they stated it was because they (O2) do not support this feature yet as they do not provide support the Desire, but they do provide automatic download of sim card settings for the HD2 atm.
I am in an area that has no 3G too.

Thanks for the info. I had got it from my other phone but forgot to update this thread...
When I stuck my O2 SIN in, it asked whether I was O2 monthly, PAYG or Tesco mobile and configured itself automatically. My SIM is only about a year old so if you have a really old SIM, it may be worth asking it to be swapped for a new one?

Are you using O2 PAYG (Prepay) and is it a 3G sim card?

Hey itsamac,
thanks for that handy bit of information, I have tried a newer sim card and now it seems to work with no problems and the data services are functioning as they should
I am currently in the process of transferring my current (old) number to a new sim card:

Nope on O2 Simplicity 20 and yes its a 3G card. I got last Easter.
Glad to hear you managed to sort it out.
can anyone confirm if o2 payg internet settings will work with the Desire or not?
I was told by o2 they didn't support the Desire on payg and so wouldn't be able to give me the settings.
Thanks
I'm on the o2 simplicity contract but my SIM card is 2G. They said they were sending me a new one but it's been over a week now. I'll give them a call today.
What can I expect different from my new 3G sim? Is it a faster connection?

You need to find your country's Telus APN settings for GPRS and setup network manually filling in data provided:
